2. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

   The "natural" motion of terrestrial solid matter was to fall downwards, whereas a "violent" motion could push a body sideways. Moreover, in Aristotelian physics, a "violent" motion requires an immediate cause; separated from the cause of its "violent" motion, a body would revert to its "natural" behavior.

3. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem_of...

   The term "radial motion" signifies the motion towards or away from the center of force, whereas the angular motion is perpendicular to the radial motion. Isaac Newton derived this theorem in Propositions 43–45 of Book I of his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica , first published in 1687.

4. Force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

   In such a situation, a force is applied in the direction of motion while the kinetic friction force exactly opposes the applied force. This results in zero net force, but since the object started with a non-zero velocity, it continues to move with a non-zero velocity. Aristotle misinterpreted this motion as being caused by the applied force.

5. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics_(physics)

   In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Since the mid-20th century, the term " dynamics " (or " analytical dynamics ") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [ 4 ...

6. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

   The curved motion is maintained so long as this net force provides the centripetal force requisite to the motion. The horizontal net force on the ball is the horizontal component of the force from the road, which has magnitude |F h | = m|a n | sin θ. The vertical component of the force from the road must counteract the gravitational force: |F ...

7. Mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics

   According to Shlomo Pines, al-Baghdaadi's theory of motion was "the oldest negation of Aristotle's fundamental dynamic law [namely, that a constant force produces a uniform motion], [and is thus an] anticipation in a vague fashion of the fundamental law of classical mechanics [namely, that a force applied continuously produces acceleration]." [13]

9. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

   In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial (or fictitious) force that acts on objects in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation, the force ...
